Bonus: Capital City Comic Con: Day 2 - The Opposite of David Carradine

With ATL Comic Convention scheduling him for all three days and the need to take four days off to take ThePoeticCritic up to Fan Expo Chicago, CatBusRuss chose to not take the time off to attend the one day at Capital City Comic Con that he was not scheduled for panels. And the hospitality and camaraderie that the nerds of Lansing, MI offered may lead our host to regret that.

No offense to Garrett Wang, but no one would call the list of guests a must see, The exhibition floor only had one light saber dealer, and the venue was pretty small. But 4C has been going on for 10 years, so they are obviously doing something right. And that is just having a very inviting atmosphere where geeks want to talk about weird stuff, not focus on $200 photo ops.

CatBusRuss had fun at all the panels he attended and participated in on Saturday. This leads him to hope that "I Dig Crazy Flicks Presents: Ninety For Chill - The Podcast" will actually have an audience. He does not want to eat all that punch and pie by himself.

As for David Carradine's name being in the title, CatBusRuss has posted a review of his 1988 feature, "Crime Zone" co-starring David Lynch muse Sherilyn Fenn. It is a story about creating criminals in a dystopian future so that the feds have someone to persecute. It is a clever idea for a Roger Corman production, and is quite the opposite of what Capital City Comic Con presented.

How did I forget to bring up "Batman and Harley Quinn"? This is a sad omission since Gregory purchased the original DC Universe over-the-top service for the "Swamp Thing" TV series.

DC Universe Movies serve as an entry way into the experience of growing up a nerd at the beginning of the Modern Age of comics. Tim Burton's "Batman" was the catalyst for both of us to try and collect comics. This resulted in us being very confused. When there is only one "Batman" movie and numerous "Batman" comic book lines, where is a kid to start? Should a parent be supervising?

So the two of us talk about this dilemma, and how it lead us to certain characters to follow and how we decide which stories do we watch on DVD and which ones do we read. From Gregory's experience, you might not want to cross those line. It may bring down the enjoyment of these features.

 

Other things that are brought in our chat are some of the political motivated decisions DC has made and how they affected fans, is there too much Batman in the DCUAOM, and of course there are comparisons to the DC Extended Universe. I think we also left with a greater appreciation of the comics we enjoyed outside of DC and even Marvel. Image Comic Fans: Represent you love for "Bitch Planet", "Maneaters", and "Sex Criminals".

My Twitter account is @catbusruss. This is where I want your hate to be directed if you disapprove. Otherwise, positive feedback would be best displayed as subscriptions to my podcast and five-star reviews. Lets work that algorithm.

If you think you have a film or franchise that you are an expert on. Send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. Most franchises have at least one feature that will qualify for NinetyForChill. The runtime just needs to be between 74 and 99 minutes. We have four episodes to fill.

 

I have been asking for weeks for assistance in composing an episode dedicated to vampire features like "The Lost Boys" trilogy, "Near Dark", and the "Underworld" movies. Here is to hoping that this bunch of critiques will stir up some inspiration in my audience to step up and hold off on the garlic. If this is a topic you up for discussing, feel free to send an email to russthebus07@gmail.com. All I need is a half hour on Zoom to get this done.

I hope I am impressing or at the very least amusing you with this podcast and I am open to any and all criticism. My biggest want is more guests and more suggestions on what to chat about (@catbusruss, russthebus07@gmail.com@coolmoviesdarth). If we can get 3 hours out of "Little Nicky", the possibilities are endless. Thanks for visiting.
